Right; the motivation for this change is to fix the init order in HDLCD and Mali-DP (move drm_dev_register to the end), which we can't do right now because tda998x expects the DRM device sysfs to be set up in bind. @Daniel: Can I take this as your Acked-by? Should this go in via Russell's tree? @Russell, are you happy with this change? Thanks, Brian >-Daniel >-- >Daniel Vetter >Software Engineer, Intel Corporation >http://blog.ffwll.ch >
